You need this version of Recovery, for various reasons (MTD support being a major part).

Rom Manager isn't fully supporting it yet on the Epic, but there's a workaround that seems to be sufficient:

When you click on "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" in Rom Manager, you'll get 3 options: Samsung Epic4G, Samsung Epic4G (MTD), and Samsung GalaxyS i9000.

Click on the one with MTD.

Currently, Rom Manager will then pop up a box notifying you there IS no MTD version (which we know isn't true). It will ask if you've installed manually.

Click yes.

It will then ask which version, and will offer two (incorrect) choices.

Just click on ClockworkMod 3.x for now.

Rom Manager will then be setup to use your existing 5.x version of Recovery.

Now (if you have the paid version) you'll be able to download the latest CM7 RC, as well as nightlies.

If you're at all risk averse, stick with the RC version (although the Nightly 11 seems to be very, very stable at this point).

Thanks to all the devs who are doing all of the work!

You've got something keeping your phone awake. I was experiencing the same problem until I flashed nightly 11, deleted Set CPU (a market available CPU throttling app), and followed this procedure from earlier in the thread to track down any offending apps:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21204097&highlight=cpu+spy#post21204097

I also use Screen Filter (market link), and drop my screen brightness below the minimum to get even better battery performance. I use my screen indoors mostly, so it's plenty bright, even at very low levels.

I set a Screen Filter widget on my home screen to toggle the effect off if I'm outside.

For the attached, stock battery, CPU settings to Conservative, Juice Defender Ultimate (Beta) (market link).

Juice Defender settings: Advanced, checking data on a 30 min schedule, WiFi preferred, 2g/3g AOSP helper enabled.

It was better for me on 12 than before. <12 it would be 30+ seconds of dead, 5 seconds of audio, on 12 it was 5 on 5 off.

So, something took a step in the right direction, unless of course there was something else keeping my phone more awake.

oh I definitely don't have problems actually streaming, it's the AVRCP profile -- I can't control playback with the bluetooth controls. This only happens when both phone and media profiles are enabled. When I only connect with media profiles, it's fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vita10gy:
With my stereo headset it's the opposite problem. No problem with controls, audio cuts in and out when the screen is off.

I was able to send an MMS with Wifi on, I received the message but clicking download caused 3g icon to flash up but wouldn't download until I turned of Wifi. I don't think I have tried this since nightly 10, or maybe 9, but previously I could not send an mms with wifi, so this is an improvement and if I am correct in remembering this behavior back on DI18 was exactly the same.

Isn't Juice Defender an offensive app as well.......
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
Describe offensive app, i mean i use it on extreme and configure apps which to let data through. so i save a lot of battery w/JD i get 1+ Hr for every 1% battery drops for ex:

W/O JD @ 90% i have gotten 5 Hrs

W/JD @ 90% i have gotten 10 Hrs

Not to mention the whole time in on 1000/100 on VR - LagFree imagine if i used conservative?
[Epic 4G Android Development] steveo314:
I never got those results with JD and wifi or 3G took forever to come back on after a "wake".
[Epic 4G Android Development] XxLostSoulxX:
It takes it 2 seconds to get data flowing again for me, wether its 4G,3G, or WiFi.

I can open Dolphin Browser and as i'm typing in the URL data starts flowing and once i enter the URL it connects.

Plus i have the option for some apps to keep Data flowing regardless if my phone is sleeping too. like if i want to stream music i keep that app flowing data no matter what state my phone is in besides Airplane but then i'm on WiFi. So it works flawlessly for me.

And JD has been update several times probably since you've used it as well.

Try and give it another go, you never know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jnadke:
So, I went all the way back to nightly-2 (before the new WiFi driver merge from the Crespo), and bluetooth phone calls worked fine.

Before when I tried to make a call with the screen off, my Fusion would act like it was calling, and then go to Call ended. As soon as I turned the screen on it would complete the call.

So it definitely seems like the new driver is screwing things up (the BCM4329 is a dual WiFi N and Bluetooth 2.1 chip, so messing with the WiFi driver may affect bluetooth).

Try nightly-2 and get back to me.

[Epic 4G Android Development] algorhythm:
Honestly I haven't tried making a call -- I really mostly use the in-car bluetooth to stream music, so disabling the phone profile, while not ideal, works for me. I started out at RC0 and jumped to nightly 12, and both ROMs have the same issue. TW-based EI22 ROMs don't have this issue as far as I can tell.

Maybe it something with my install, but prior to installing CM7 it played buttery smooth on stock video player using HW decoding. But now there is a ton of jitter.

I have the first version of 7.2 and was thinking of flashing to nightly12, just flash it? Anything I should wipe?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MeetFace:
Haha, funny you uploaded that clip, put that in for my kids before work this morning.

I get stutter, the entire video, not "hard" stutters where it completely lags out, but it the framerate was up and down, almost like it was trying to sync with the audio, constantly over/under correcting.

I was using the stock player CM nightly 12.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
you should wipe cache and delvik. and thats it. happy flashing
[Epic 4G Android Development] inameiname:
Thanks. Nah, that isn't a huge deal. So long as I don't have to do that several times. Hehe

On another matter, does anybody know if it is because I have a lot of apps that it sometimes crashes? Often, this occurs right after a restart and the operating system is reading the sd card (and all of its apps/games). As expected, it takes a few seconds to have all of the apps (not just the ones on internal memory) to show up in the Applications. It is just sometimes, it will freeze and, if it does that, go black screen and then show the boot logo animation, before going back into the ROM.

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

If that was to be done, would that mean all of the apps and settings disappear, as in it would essentially be an 'update' from the older CyanogenMod 7.2 zip to the latest nightly build? Just curious.

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

I mainly use this one for the WIFI connection. Anybody know how I can completely disable the phone connection, primarily to save battery?

As it stands now, I just turn on Airplane Mode, which seems to do the trick. However, this must be turned off when wanting to use the GPS as it seems to require Airplane Mode be off. So, I am just wondering if there is anyway to completely disable it, but still keep GPS happy.

I also have found that the Data toggle turns on randomly a lot now, especially in the last several nightly builds. Any reason that might be the case?
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Ok so I flashed nightly 12 and I'm having problems with titanium backup... everytime I restore an app+data it restores the app then fc's.. so I have to d everything manually basically which is very annoying.. I have to first restore the app then its data.. and I have to do that for all my apps

Anyone else having the same problem..? I'm using titanium backup pro ill try to reinstall it and see what happens
[Epic 4G Android Development] mrcollpepper:
no, you will lose settings and apps if you wipe data. you don't have to wipe anything, but not wiping those seem to cause lots of issues for lots of people

[Epic 4G Android Development] RyleyinSTL:
I think Airplane Mode plus Tasker (in the Market) might just be want you need.

Basically you turn on airplane mode and then a Tasker rule enables only the GPS if you open a predefined application (such as maps, nav or whatever). Then when you exit the program it turns of the GPS. all the while airplane mode stays on doing it's thing.

...or something like that.

Edit: BALLS! That won't work because this stupid phone, due to it's a-GPS fetish, requires the cellular radio to be on to get a GPS fix, signal available or not. However Tasker will still work for you. You just need to add a task to switch off airplane mode for 15 seconds and when switch it back on. Just tried it myself...problem still solved.

[Epic 4G Android Development] bender beerman:
Are you using a stock battery? Are you streaming music or video? How is your screen on time? 10% in 10 minutes can be typical under certain conditions... how about your CPU governor settings, perhaps a second party kernel, any miscellaneous apps running, data sync, auto brightness? All of those can be factors and will drain your battery faster than expected

BEER!

I also found this to be a problem. The work around I used for buttery smooth MMS was GO SMS Pro. Once installed you can set the maximum MMS setting to 5Mb and then things arrive in HQ. It also fixes the issues with sending and receiving MMS when WiFi is enabled.

Sent from my 4G Cyanogen Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
The best way to see if you are getting good battery life is to see how long your phone is in deep sleep, it should typically drop less than 2% per hour with the screen off.

Your phone was hardly even sleeping, even with the screen off, that probably means you have some apps that are forcing a wakelock.

If you use betterbatterystats you can see how long your phone is awake vs the screen on time, it should not be dramatically different.
